Family Channel bows new tween series

High school sitcom Angel on Campus is hoping to attract the nine- to 14-year-old demo.

Former Kids in the Hall writer Frank van Keeken, the creator of Angel on Campus, is heading back to school this summer to shoot the Temple Productions 13 ep half-hour tween series for Family Channel, on location in a former Toronto school.

The comedy is targeted at nine to 14 year olds and follows an ‘angel in training’ played by Demetrius Joyette (The Latest Buzz), who is on a mission to earn his wings by helping make a high school boy popular.

Van Keeken, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer, is no stranger to comedy, and has acted as executive story editor for Mad About You and executive produced another recent Temple show, Billable Hours.From Playback Daily
